Domenico Veneziano in Context: Reassessing Florentine Visual Culture in the 1440s

尽管他被公认为15世纪最具创新精神的画家之一，但多梅尼科·韦尼齐亚诺仍然是一个令人不安的未被研究的艺术家。她的博士论文建立在她迄今为止的研究生工作的基础上，以推进对艺术家的创新专题研究，这将使他的主要作品成为特定佛罗伦萨背景下的特定场地项目，重新评估当代作品，而不是插入目的论和回顾性批准的进展链。换句话说，她的项目将Veneziano的作品与15世纪40年代佛罗伦萨艺术赞助的一般运行并列，以获得更多的购买力，他在城市景观中的公共作品的新奇。特别是，她将专注于Domenico Veneziano在佛罗伦萨公共艺术的三个最重要的流派-祭坛画，教堂壁画和街头帐篷-将它们与其他艺术家的当代公共委托并列。将他们与多梅尼科·韦内齐亚诺的作品进行比较，将使我们进一步了解现代性对这一时期佛罗伦萨观众的意义。采用这种不寻常的视角，考虑到艺术作品的构思环境以及当代但更“保守”的艺术生产，她的项目旨在纠正对15世纪中期佛罗伦萨绘画的伟大杰作的误导和脱离语境的解释。

Despite his accepted status as one of the most innovative painters of the 15th century, Domenico Veneziano remains an astonishingly understudied artist. Her PhD proposal builds on her graduate work to date to advance an innovative monographic study of the artist, which will situate his key works as site-specific projects for particular Florence contexts, re-evaluated against contemporary works as opposed to being inserted into a teleological and retrospectively sanctioned chain of progress. In other words, her project will juxtapose Veneziano's work with the general run of Florentine artistic patronage in the 1440s to gain greater purchase on the novelty of his public works within the cityscape. In particular, she will focus on Domenico Veneziano's work in three of the most significant genres of Florentine public art - altarpieces, chapel frescoes and street tabernacles - juxtaposing them with contemporary public commissions by other artists. Their comparison with Domenico Veneziano's work will grant us additional purchase on what modernity meant for the Florentine audiences of the period. Adopting this unusual perspective, considering the environments for which artworks were conceived as well as contemporary but more 'conservative' artistic production, her project seeks to correct misleading and decontextualized interpretations of the great masterpieces of mid-15th-century Florentine painting.
